Definitions

  • Cigarette dispensing device Object of the invention.
  • the present invention relates to a cigarette dispensing device; intended for smokers who wish to control or quit smoking; said device comprising a cigarette case provided with a body that defines a receptacle for the arrangement of the cigarettes to be dispensed, a closure cap provided with a closure governed by an electric actuator, an electronic board, wireless connection means and a rechargeable battery for the power of the electronic board and the actuator.
  • the present invention has its application in the manufacture of cigarette dispensing devices, used primarily as an aid to therapies to control or eliminate smoking.
  • a device for supplying cigarettes which comprises: a compartment where cigarettes are stored, an opening through which cigarettes are supplied and a flip-up lid that covers said opening.
  • the device further comprises actuation means that include an actuator which, when actuated, causes the lid to open, and elements that move in solidarity with said actuator causing the supply of a cigarette.
  • the device may comprise a screen showing different options that the user may have and a control panel through which said user can access the different options that appear on the screen; in this way the user can program a certain time for a cigarette to be supplied after said determined time has elapsed since the previous supply.
  • the device for supplying cigarettes of the aforementioned document ES 2299320 allows to regulate only the time that elapses between the successive openings of the cigarette case, said time being adjustable by the user. This feature determines that the device in question is not an adequate aid for compulsive smokers, who can minimize the time between consecutive openings; nor for those smokers who do not have a high dependence on tobacco since the cigarette case will open automatically after the time set by the timer, regardless of whether the user wants, or does not want, to smoke.
  • the cigarette dispensing device object of this invention is primarily intended for smokers who wish to regulate or quit smoking, said device comprising a cigarette case provided with a body that defines an inner receptacle for the arrangement of the cigarettes to be dispensed, a cover provided with a closure governed by an electric actuator, an electronic board, wireless connection means and a rechargeable battery for power of the electronic board and the actuator.
  • This cigarette dispensing device has constructive characteristics aimed at opening said cigarette case through an application installed in a mobile terminal, portable by the user, with the particularity that said application wirelessly transmits an opening order to the electric actuator of the cigarette case each time the user requests the dispensing of a cigarette, regardless of the time that has elapsed since the previous dispensing, but establishing a variable delay time between the request for opening the cigarette case by the user and the transmission to said cigarette case of the opening order.
  • the user can make the request to open the cigarette case for the extraction of a cigarette every time he wishes to smoke through the application installed in a mobile terminal, but will not have immediate access to said cigarette, if not that you will have to wait for the variable delay time, established by the application, between the request for opening the cigarette case and the transmission of the opening order to the cigarette case, at the time the application allows its opening in a period determined past which without action will have to repeat the request and authorization process.
  • This characteristic is of special importance in the control of the habit of smoking, since a large part of the cigarettes are extracted from the pack and lit by the user in a totally mechanical way, and without any rational analysis on the desire or real need of Smoking in that instant.
  • Another object of the invention is to issue, during the variable delay time between the request for opening the cigarette case by the user and the effective opening thereof, an informational message on the mobile terminal screen, so that the user can rationalize and analyze the need and convenience of consuming the cigarette to which he will have access after the delay time marked by the application.
  • the opening of the cigarette case is carried out through an application installed in a portable mobile terminal by the user and that it can be for example a mobile telephone terminal of the so-called "smartphone" or smartphone, which makes it possible to reduce the manufacturing costs of the cigarette case itself and use the means of the mobile terminal to execute the application, through which the user will make the request to open the cigarette case and the opening of this, after the delay time.
  • said mobile terminal comprises: a microprocessor with memory, a screen suitable for the presentation of various menus and information, a power battery and wireless communication means suitable for establishing communication with at least wireless communication means. associated with the electronic plate of the cigarette case and remotely control the actuation of the electric actuator and the opening of the cigarette case.
  • This application is conditioned to: - receive a request for remote opening of the cigarette case by the user; - establish a variable delay time between the request for opening the cigarette case by the user and the transmission to the cigarette case, via wireless communication, of an opening order; and - issue an informational message on the mobile terminal screen during the variable delay time.
  • the application has a database associated with the registration of various information, such as times when the cigarette case was opened, position coordinates corresponding to locations where the user cannot smoke at any time. time, or at certain times, or other information provided by the user at the request of the application, for example, the degree of satisfaction obtained after smoking each cigarette.
  • This information allows the subsequent realization of diverse statistics and the variation of the specific therapy for each user.
  • the application determines, through means of the mobile terminal, the position coordinates of the user and establishes its comparison with coordinates previously registered in the database associated with the application, as well as the schedules and information added thus processing said information, canceling or delaying said application the remote opening order of the cigarette case when there is a match between said coordinates.
  • This feature makes it possible to break the user's routine and habits of smoking, preventing him from smoking in certain places, for example at his home or at his place of work, at any time, or at a certain time, for example after Lunch or dinner time.
  • This device allows, in summary: to delay the opening of the cigarette case once the request for opening it has been made by the user, eliminating the possibility of smoking immediately, the issuance of messages on the screen of the mobile terminal since it is made the request of the opening of the cigarette case until the effective opening of the same takes place, to change the habits of consumption of the user avoiding that this one is realized in moments and / or habitual places, and that the application itself varies in successive phases and in function of the information provided by the user the operating parameters of the device so that the user can reduce or even quit smoking.
